Conjunctivitis spreads very easily through coughs and sneezes or contact with tissues, flannels, towels, pillowcases. Wash your hands often and throw away used tissues straight away. This reduces the risk of the people around you becoming infected.
Simple analgesics can be used after infection, most of which can be bought over the counter in shops, supermarkets or pharmacy’s. Examples are:
You may have been prescribed an alternative pain killer, please refer to specific advice for that tablet if this is the case.
If you develop further blurred vision or eye pain, if you see any blisters or spots on your eyelids you should contact your local GP or NHS 111. If you think your problem is an emergency or urgent then attend your local Emergency Department.
